The Sangre de Cristo Arts Center is updating its gallery experience with the return of a permanent collection exhibit, monthly artist takeovers in the Hoag Studio, an exhibit that explores the darker side of fairy tales and a split exhibit featuring 20 local artists who have and 20 local artists who have not shown their work in the Arts Center’s galleries.

“This summer the visitors to the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center will notice some changes,” said executive director Dr. Dan Lere. “The exhibits in our five galleries will reflect a diversity that is part of a new trend at the Arts Center. We intend to present art in many forms to a wider audience.”

A free public opening reception is on Saturday, June 9 from 4-6 pm. Following the reception, the exhibition may be viewed during regular gallery hours: Tuesday-Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
